Toxic Masculinity Deems These 30 Normal And Healthy Behaviors ‘Unmanly,’ Yet People Online Think Otherwise

Charles Bronson happily let his daughter paint his toenails, and wandered around in sandals, not caring a cuss what anyone thought of his with flowers on his toes. If it's good enough for one of the Magnificent Seven, the Great Escapers, and the Dirty Dozen, it's good enough for you.

My bro dude came to work with black nails one day...I asked how he smashed them and he was like, "naw man, my daughter painted them". I told him he needs to get her some more colors so it doesn't look like his fingertips are necrotic.

I refuse to do it because they're huge pain to clean. But i let my daughter braid my hair and put all kinds of rainbow unicorn heart hair clips.

You're damn right it is.

He*l yes.

Until we start having babies, we will never understand just how horrible the b******t Republican agenda effects women. You're ghat damn right women deserve equal rights.

Real men protect the innocent and voiceless.

Real men know that they don't really benefit from women not reaching their potential.

Real men recognize women have rights, too.

I love this standing up for people is hard and therefore “manly” whatever the heck that’s supposed to mean women are tougher

Best piece here!

Sometimes it takes a while for that lesson to sink in.

BINGO. Remember the book from the 80's (which was admittedly a satire) "Real Men Don't Eat Quiche?" To that I have always responded, "Real Men Eat Whatever the F**k They Want."

I don't understand this concept of "unmanly". I'm a woman who does a lot of "un womanly" things, like hunt, chop wood, use chainsaws, service the car, etc when my husband had no farking clue on how to do any of this. I never thought of him as being "un manly".

I simply dislike the taste of liquor, that's all. When I was young and feisty and people tried to make me drink alcohol, I'd stand up and say, Let's fight, if you win, I'll drink. Sadly, nobody took me up on it.

Why would you drink beer when you can have a Strawberry Margarita?

Now I am not a man but fruity drinks are the best. Never let your penis hinder you from enjoying a heavenly drink

And then there are people who opt not to drink. Leave them alone. You don't know why they're not drinking. They probably have seen their loved ones' lives destroyed by alcoholism. They're probably a recovering alcoholic themselves. They probably just don't like the taste of alcohol. If a person, regardless of their gender, makes the decision to not drink, it's a decision, and leave them alone about it.

Fruity drink. Takes less to feel more!

real men wear whatever the hell they want

IIrc (some internet dude will double check my work, I'm sure) pink was traditionally a boy color but somewhere in the early-mid 1900's that changed on a fad

My only problem with pink is that I think it doesn't suit me. But hey, wear what you want

How did colors even get associated with gender anyways?

Gambit rocks the magenta :)

At first I read this as Mr. Tongue and was going to up vote just on that 🤣🤣

I really appreciate the sentiment. The sad thing about this is treating women with respect shouldn’t be badass.

Always.

Or easier.

This goes both ways

I grew up on the west coast of Ireland where it would rain 18 days a week. Often your coat and a hat was your only protection (Too windy for an umbrella) and I was used to it. When I moved to England I got to use an umbrella without taking flight and I LOVED it! I now make sure I always have 3 umbrellas, one at work, one at home and one in my car! I even love those little ones you get in cocktails!

I don't use umbrella because I'm still wet even when using them. Real men use Paddington bear raincoat, yes including the hat!!!

Will they whine like a man when they get sick?

yeah, screw themselves with an umbrella! how is it unmanly to not get wet?

Tell them it's really a sword stick, and they're messing with your Second Amendment rights! (Masculinity gatekeepers are usually also big on gun rights. Mmm. Wonder why.)
